Chapter 336: Kill! (Part 2)
Chapter 336: Kill! (Part 2)
.. but we're not actually their disciples.
Not long after, two middle-aged men in their thirties, each carrying a long sword and exuding elegance, entered the reception hall.
Zheng Yunqi and the others went to greet them first.
Starlight Commander remained in the main hall.
The gatekeeper reported.
"Master Escorter, these people have appeared a few days ago, but they only watched from afar at our entrance without coming in. It wasn't until today that they finally decided to enter. I remember them."
Starlight Commander seemed deep in thought.
They appeared a few days ago?
What does that mean?
Were they undecided until today when they finally made up their minds?
Or... were they observing Heaven's Escort Bureau's customer traffic all this time?
In that case, what's their intention?
Starlight Commander furrowed his brows, his mind repeatedly considering: Mountain Shift Gate, Mountain Shift Gate, Yi Xin Jiao, Guardian, Hidden Gate, Only Righteous Sect, Undercover, Inspection... Mountain Shift Gate?
Is there anything we can take advantage of?
After a long time, his mind was almost mush, but he finally took a deep breath.
Let's go!
Starlight Commander strode into the reception room.
"Oh my, we have esteemed guests, please forgive me for not greeting you sooner."
"I've heard of your greatness, Master Escorter. It's an honor to finally meet you. I've long admired your name, and meeting you today is a great pleasure. I am Fei Yibin from the Mountain Shift Gate, and Yue Changhai."
"It's an honor to meet you, Fei brother, and Yue brother."
Master Escorter stood up and said warmly, "Welcome, welcome! Please serve the tea, and bring out my precious collection of fine tea."
5. The two sides took their seats, with Zheng Yunqi, Zhao Wu Shang, and Zhou Meier accompanying them.
Starlight Commander smiled and said, "I don't know what you have to teach us, Fei brother and Yue brother. Heaven's Escort Bureau and Mountain Shift Gate are close cooperative partners. If you have any matters, please feel free to speak openly."
Fei Yibin smiled faintly and said, "I wouldn't dare to presume to teach, but there is something we'd like to discuss."
Starlight Commander smiled and said, "Please speak freely."
"We from the Mountain Shift Gate unknowingly issued so many identities, and I truly didn't know about it. Here, there are people from the Mountain Shift Gate who have established such a large escort agency."
Fei Yibin smiled faintly and said, "Your escort agency is grand in scale, with operations as smooth as flowing water. Master Escorter, you've put in a lot of effort."
Starlight Commander narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It's all thanks to the brothers working together, and the rewards from our fellow martial artists. We earn every penny with hard work, and it's not worth mentioning."
Yue Changhai chuckled and said, "Master Escorter is too humble. Let's be frank."
"Please speak."
"We from the Mountain Shift Gate) have been issuing identities without any return. As for your escort agency's foundation, you and I both know it well. Am I right, Starlight Commander?"
Yue Changhai smiled.
Before Starlight Commander could speak, Zheng Yunqi, Zhao Wu Shang, and the others became displeased.
Why does it sound like the Mountain Shift Gate is making unreasonable demands?
Zhao Wu Shang coldly smiled and said, "Do you two want a share of the pie? In other words, you want some benefits, right?"
Fei Yibin's face darkened, and he said calmly, "This young master, please choose your words carefully. The Mountain Shift Gate is a secluded sect and doesn't care for a few silver coins."
By calling him 'young master,' it was clear that he was aware of Zhao Wu Shang's identity.
Starlight Commander's thoughts flashed like lightning.
While Zhao Wu Shang and Fei Yibin were speaking, a message was sent to the Yinshen Sect.
"Master, the headquarters' undercover hasn't arrived, but the Mountain Shift Gate people have come, intending to seize our escort agency."
Yi Xin Jiao headquarters.
At the Yinshen Sect, during a meeting, the table was smashed with a bang, and the sect leader was furious!
"Damn it!"
Everyone in the Yi Xin Jiao leadership, over forty people, looked at each other in shock.
What's wrong with the sect leader?
The Yinshen Sect leader didn't bother to explain and immediately sent a message to Fang Che: "First, calm them down and see what they're up to. All Sovereign and above experts, assemble and stand by."
His face darkened, and the storm was brewing.
Fang Che replied, "Yes, Master. I'll keep you updated."
...
At the escort agency.
Zheng Yunqi said, "Since the Mountain Shift Gate doesn't care about a few silver coins, but our Heaven's Escort Bureau is just a secular agency. If you want to earn something else, you won't find it here. So, what do you really want?"
"The Mountain Shift Gate disciples cultivate, and naturally, they need resources. However, with such a large sect, there are many elders, women, and children, and tens of thousands of mouths to feed, which is a considerable demand."
Fei Yibin said, "I wonder what Master Escorter thinks about this?"
Starlight Commander smiled faintly and said, "What I think is secondary, but what Fei brother says is primary."
His eyes narrowed, and his sharp gaze was like a wolf's. He said, word by word, "I wonder if this is Fei brother's personal opinion or the Mountain Shift Gate leader's intention?"
Fei Yibin was startled by his fierce gaze but quickly became annoyed and said sternly, "So what if it's the Mountain Shift Gate's intention? So what if it's my personal opinion?"
Starlight Commander immediately understood and said calmly, "I don't know Fei brother and Yue brother's positions in the Mountain Shift Gate and which generation of disciples you are. Please forgive us, but Heaven's Escort Bureau can't be too accommodating. You haven't revealed your identities and only mentioned the Mountain Shift Gate. Are you here to ask for money? What if you're scammers?"
Zheng Yunqi and the others were amused.
The master is playing mind games again; this is so fun.
Fei Yibin's face was serious as he said, "I'm Fei Yibin from the eighth generation of the Mountain Shift Gate, my humble name shames Starlight Commander."
Starlight Commander smiled faintly and said, "I remember. The main peak of the Mountain Shift Gate is the Jade Sword Peak, and all our escort procedures are handled by the Jade Sword Peak. I wonder what connection you have with the massage, rhythmic movements, and the gun's intent was like a golden serpent, coiling and uncoiling.
Starlight Commander smiled and said, "It's all thanks to the brothers' unity and the rewards from fellow martial artists. We earn every penny with hard work, and it's not worth mentioning."
Yue Changhai chuckled and said, "Master Escorter is too humble. Let's be frank."
"Please speak."
"We from the Mountain Shift Gate have been issuing identities without any return. As for your escort agency's foundation, you and I both know it well. Am I right, Starlight Commander?"
Yue Changhai smiled.
"The Jade Sword and the Flying Sword both belong to the Mountain Shift Gate."
Fei Yibin said, "Some things are difficult for the elders to say, but we, the younger generation, can't just stand by and watch."
The Star-Light Pavilion Master laughed, "So this was your personal idea. Haha, did you come here secretly?"
Fei Yibin replied, "What do you mean? This matter is also the wish of all the Mountain Shift Gate members."
The Star-Light Pavilion Master smiled, "What does Brother Fei want to do? Please draw a line."
Fei Yibin said, "Thirty percent, we from the Mountain Shift Gate want thirty percent of the monthly profits."
Zheng Yunqi became furious, "Thirty percent just like that? You two are eighth-generation disciples, and at most, you're at the Martial Marquis level. With such audacity, aren't you afraid your tongues will get cut off?"
Fei Yibin responded, "This has nothing to do with cultivation level. The key is that you're using our name, and it wouldn't be right to not give us a share. Besides, this is just a distraction, and thirty percent isn't too much."
The Star-Light Pavilion Master laughed and said calmly, "Thirty percent is indeed not too much. I'll give you a little more."
Fei Yibin was delighted, "As expected of the Pavilion Master, you have a grand vision. Then this matter..."
"I'll give you a hundred percent!"
The Star-Light Pavilion Master stood up with a smile and said, "I'll give you all of it!"
Suddenly, a swift counteraction.
Clang!
The long-awaited Nine-Ring Broadsword unsheathed.
A flash of brilliance.
Bloodlight soared into the sky.
Two heads flew up, spinning.
For the Star-Light Pavilion Master, killing these two was completely stress-free. With the entire Only Righteous Sect taking the blame, who could the Star-Light Pavilion Master fear?
"Pavilion Master!"
Zheng Yunqi and the other two were shocked.
The Pavilion Master had directly taken action and killed them.
How would they explain this to the Mountain Shift Gate?
The Star-Light Pavilion Master calmly wiped the blade, "Dispose of the bodies."
"This..."
"These two were here secretly, and if we clean up the bodies, who would know where they died?"
The Star-Light Pavilion Master sheathed his cleaned blade.
Without changing his expression, he continued, "Besides, by doing this, we're severing our ties with the Mountain Shift Gate, which is truly rebellious and unprincipled. We're also helping the Mountain Shift Gate clean up their own mess."
The three exchanged glances.
How could he say such a thing? But upon reflection, it made sense. The Pavilion Master hadn't killed in a long time, and these two had come asking for thirty percent. No wonder he was angry.
However, killing them would still leave potential future troubles.
The three were worried but didn't dare to speak.
They quickly disposed of the bodies.
"When you think about things, think one step further."
The Star-Light Pavilion Master spoke with depth, "At this critical moment, nothing can go wrong. These two came and demanded money. If they take it back to their sect, the other disciples will keep coming. How will we deal with them?"
The three realized this was an inevitable phenomenon.
The two eighth-generation disciples demanded thirty percent, what about the others? They would definitely come.
"Moreover, this will give them the impression that we're like fish on a chopping board, and the Mountain Shift Gate's ambitions will grow. They might even want to control the Escort Agency, making our efforts meaningless."
"If they come again and encounter a headquarters inspection, what achievements will we have?"
"So we can't back down, we must kill!"
"Of course, there will be consequences after killing them, but we'll face them together. A small sect like the Mountain Shift Gate can't cause much trouble."
The Star-Light Pavilion Master was very domineering.
Zheng Yunqi and the others exchanged glances and said simultaneously, "The Pavilion Master is right, we'll face it together."
They thought about how to get the family to help.
After all, the Mountain Shift Gate was found by the family, and now that this issue had arisen, it was only natural for the family to step in.
"Master, the two people from the Mountain Shift Gate..." Fang Che began his report.
Without exaggerating, he described the situation, magnifying it three to five times.
"Well done!"
The Yin Shengong was filled with killing intent, "This kind of thing must be completely stopped from the beginning. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles in the future!"
As an experienced veteran, he had seen further from the start.
"Killing is inevitable once the Mountain Shift Gate has such intentions. If we delay, we'll still have to kill. So it's better to do it from the beginning, showing an unyielding attitude."
The Yin Shengong spoke.
Fang Che replied, "Master, I understand, but I still feel apprehensive. Since the Mountain Shift Gate wants this benefit and is too embarrassed to confront the higher-ups directly, they can only send their disciples to test the waters."
"So there's still time. The key is that the headquarters inspection team should be arriving in a few days. By then, you can use your brain."
The Yin Shengong subtly reminded his disciple, "As long as they have intentions, we can cooperate with the Yi Xin Jiao. The Mountain Shift Gate won't be a problem."
Fang Che understood, "Disciple understands, but I still need Master's guidance on the specifics. I'll report immediately, and ask Master to help with the plan."
The Yin Shengong scolded, "You're not being considerate at all, treating your master like a laborer. Can't you make decisions on your own?"
Fang Che replied, "They're from headquarters, and I've never dealt with them. I don't know their temperaments, and I dare not act recklessly, fearing I might cause trouble for Master. I'll need your help then."
"I understand.
Shen Zhen readily agreed and said, "The people at headquarters have a common temperament. They look down on those from the lower sects, so they put on airs of superiority. If you fawn over them too much, they'll despise you even more. But if you show strength, they'll resent you."
Fang Che was perplexed by these words, "Master, how should I serve them? If I'm too soft, they'll take advantage, and if I'm too hard, it's too difficult."
Shen Zhen sighed, "That's the balance you need to find for yourself. Even I haven't figured it out."
"Yes, Master," Fang Che ended the communication.
...
In the evening, upon returning to the Scholar's Residence, Fang Che went to take a bath.
The Golden Horned Dragon's avatar began transmitting messages to Ye Meng.
Today's events at the Escort Agency, especially the details about the Mountain Shift Gate, were emphasized.
Ye Meng started organizing and immediately sent out the information.
She felt anxious and guilty.
Sigh... Even though she was his woman, she still had to betray him and keep doing it, which made her feel guilty.
Fang Che, after cleaning himself, walked in with a towel drying his hair and smiled, "What are you thinking about, so lost in thought?"
"Oh, nothing," she replied.
Fang Che sat down next to her and said, "Are you thinking of me?"
"Ah..."
"Hehe, serve me well today. I'm so tired..."
Fang Che flipped over and pinned Ye Meng to the bed.
A scene of passion ensued.
Fang Che realized that every time he had the Golden Horned Dragon transmit messages to Ye Meng, she became exceptionally obedient that night, as if trying to make up for something. As a result, most of his requests were fulfilled.
However, regarding this... Fang Che had no solution, and secondly... Ahem, he quite enjoyed it.
So now, when he had the Golden Horned Dragon transmit messages, he did it more frequently.
After all, having an obedient and beautiful woman who could satisfy all his desires was a great fortune for Fang Che.
And so, he became more and more demanding.
Ye Meng used all her skills, and after exhausting all her energy, she fell into a deep sleep.
Fang Che sighed contentedly, lay down, and relaxed.
...
In the morning, Dong Fang San San looked at the transmitted message.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"This is a call for help."
He paused and said, "Call Bu Chou.
Bu Chou, a Guardian expert, ranked 11th on the Cloud End Weapon Chart.
The continent is ablaze, and smoke rises from the mountains and rivers. With a single staff, he stirs up the clouds and clears the sky!
The Cloud Staff, Bu Chou.
Originally named Bu Yun, he later changed his name to Bu Ren after his sworn brothers were brutally killed. Bu Ren vowed revenge, but the continent's situation was unstable at that time, and the Guardians were at a disadvantage. Dong Fang San San stopped him, postponing the revenge.
If they provoked the other party, they would openly join the Only Righteous Sect, causing turmoil on the continent.
Listening to Dong Fang San San, Bu Ren suppressed his hatred and waited for the right moment. He changed his name again to Bu Chou, meaning 'I won't take revenge now, but I will remember this grudge.'
Soon, Bu Chou arrived, "Brother Jiu."
Dong Fang San San sighed and said, "Bu Chou, I've suppressed your brothers' grudge for over a thousand years. Do you have any complaints?"
Bu Chou smiled faintly, "Brother Jiu, I'm a Guardian first and a big brother to my brothers second. I can distinguish between personal and continental grudges."
Dong Fang San San smiled, "Now, the continental situation is stable. The Only Righteous Sect has established a country and is busy with various issues, so they won't pay attention to this. You can take your revenge."
Bu Chou paused and asked, "Brother Jiu, are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
Dong Fang San San lightly sighed and said, "You need to send out this message, and after that... your state of mind should improve, and then... I want you to enter the top ten of the Cloud End Weapon Chart!"
Bu Chou took a deep breath, and his eyes shone with dazzling brilliance.
"Yes, Brother Jiu!"
Dong Fang San San instructed, "Don't completely destroy them. Don't do something like wiping out an entire clan. I still have great use for this Mountain Shift Gate."
"I understand, Brother Jiu."
Bu Chou was delighted, "If there's nothing else, I'll go offer incense for my brothers."
"Go."
Dong Fang San San said, "Remember, go again in three to five days."
"Okay!"
Bu Chou left.
Dong Fang San San's gaze lingered on the words 'Mountain Shift Gate' in the intelligence report.
Then, he wrote three words next to it: 'Yi Xin Jiao.'
He frowned.
In the end, he shook his head, "Can't take them down yet. We still need their identity."
He sighed.
Just as he was about to look at other intelligence, someone reported.
Yang Luoyu arrived.
"Come in."
"Brother Jiu, I need to go to the White Cloud Continent soon. Over there, Golden Serpent Spear Dong Changfeng has invited me many times. If I'm free, I'll go there."
"Good."
Dong Fang San San said, "After you go, Bu Chou will likely make his move there soon. If you're free, go and lend a hand."
"Sure, although Bu Lao Da may not need our help, but we can still watch the battle."
